Story

After quitting his job that Arwin offered him in "Sink or Swim", Zack gets a job at the Paul Revere Mini Mart. Cody does not like this at all. Because Zack is new, he is a junior bagger and Cody is a senior bagger. Zack ends up getting the credit for stuff that Cody did for him, and Wayne is believing that Zack is a better worker for Cody.

Meanwhile, London is incredibly embarrassed by Lance’s behavior (because he is a water-addict), and she does not show him to her friends Chelsea and Tiffany. Eventually, they meet, but it is awkward. London asks Maddie for advice, but that does nothing. Later on, Lance gets help from Carey and Mr. Moseby on how to be fancy, while Maddie suggests that London should try to adapt to Lance’s aquatic stylings.

Arwin had a letter sorter around that went wrong (seen earlier in the episode), and he told Cody that he could make it into a high quality stacking machine. Arwin makes one that day, and they turn up to the Paul Revere Mini Mart. At first the machine goes well, but after attempting to speed it up, the machine breaks and Cody gets fired.

At the Golden Silver Ball, Lance turns up with a tuxedo and talks fancy like. London’s friends are impressed, but London turns up wearing surfer clothes. London is shocked but the two end up dancing together.

At the end, Cody is rehired, but Zack and Cody work as equals (both are the same rank).

Wayne: (moves Zack aside) Well, hello, mama. Is there a papa in the scene? If not, you can find the gold pot at the end of the Wayne-bow.

Carey: I'm not Irish and you're not getting lucky.

Carey: So Launce—

(Lance laughs)

Mr. Moseby: What's so funny?

Lance: She called me Launce! Ooh, does that mean in the morning, I put on my paunts?

Carey: Only if you live in Fraunce!

(Carey and Lance laugh)

Mr. Moseby: Okay, you know what, if you two are not going to take this seriously, I have more important things to do!
